Executive Assistant to Law Firm Owner
Location: Woodland Hills
Full-Time On site
Only candidates within commuting distance from Woodland Hills need apply.
About the Role:
Founder and principal attorney of a dynamic and growing law firm, is seeking a top-tier Executive Assistant to serve as his right hand. This is a unique opportunity to step into a pivotal role supporting a high-performing, fast-moving founder who currently wears all the hats — and would greatly benefit from someone who can take over several of them (once you prove you're up to the task).
This is not a traditional EA role. We're looking for someone with C-level Executive Assistant experience who thrives in environments where structure doesn’t exist yet but needs to. You'll need to build systems, implement processes, and help keep the office running like a well-oiled machine.
If you're the kind of person who anticipates needs before they're spoken, finds satisfaction in bringing order to chaos, and is confident managing up — we want to hear from you.
Key Responsibilities:
- Serve as a strategic partner to Ben by managing his calendar, email, travel, and daily priorities
- Create and implement systems and processes to streamline operations across the firm
- Act as a gatekeeper and prioritization filter for internal and external requests
- Support with real estate projects and transactions (bonus points if you have familiarity with contracts, scheduling inspections, or closing coordination)
- Oversee general office administration including vendor management, supplies, and maintaining a smooth day-to-day workflow
- Assist with team communications and light HR duties as needed
- Keep projects and founder on track with reminders, follow-ups, and proactive check-ins
About You:
- 5+ years supporting a CEO, Managing Partner, or C-level executive (legal or professional services preferred)
- You don’t need to be told twice — or even once. You see the problem and solve it
- Highly organized, detail-oriented, and obsessive about follow-through
- Comfortable working with someone who doesn’t delegate easily — and ready to prove you can be trusted with more
- Able to set boundaries diplomatically and manage up with finesse
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Experience or knowledge in real estate (residential or commercial) is a strong plus
- Tech-savvy and resourceful — can figure out most tools without a manual
Why This Role is Unique:
This is an established law firm that is growing, and this is your chance to shape the executive support function from the ground up. You’ll have autonomy, visibility, and the satisfaction of knowing you’re directly impacting the firm’s ability to scale and succeed. This role is perfect for someone who thrives behind the scenes but makes everything (and everyone) better in front.
